Shaker Heights, Ohio Relocation Guide

Shaker Heights is known nationally for its outstanding urban planning, historic architecture, fine public services, excellent schools and convenient transportation. Also known for its cultural and religious diversity, the City supports public and private programs that aim to "preserve and promote Shaker Heights as a premier racially integrated community."

It is tranquil, yet cosmopolitan; rich in history, yet forward-looking; abundant in architectural charm, yet affordable. It is home to 31,000 residents, four lakes, plentiful parklands and nationally acclaimed schools. Just ten miles from downtown Cleveland, Shaker Heights offers residents easy access to the professional, cultural and sporting resources of this vibrant city and to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport.

For summertime enjoyment, the beaches of Lake Erie are just a short drive away. It's no wonder Shaker Heights is the suburb of choice for leaders in the fields of medicine, law, research, education and business.
